The people reached a consensus instantly.
Seeing the people gradually approaching and staring at Shi Qinghuan, Bailiheng's expression darkened.
This time, Bailiheng was really angry.
He directly picked up Su Peng and clasped his throat with his fingertips.
"You should know that there is a price to pay for hurting people you shouldn't hurt."
With the force of his fingertips, Sun Peng's face turned pale. Only now did he really feel the cold murderous aura on Bailiheng's body.
It was different from before, before it was a threat, but now, it was a real intention to kill him.
There was fear in his eyes, but he was speechless. He could only look at the people pleadingly.
When the people saw this, they also understood.
"Daozhang Sun has done a lot for us over the years. He has worked hard and hard, and now it's finally up to us to repay him!"
"Protect Taoist Sun!"
All those people rushed towards Bailiheng and Shi Qinghuan, holding various weapons in their hands.
"Let Taoist Sun go!"
The wooden stick was thrown towards Shi Qinghuan.
Bailiheng immediately stretched out his hand, waved his sleeves and knocked the stick away.
His eyes were dark and his anger could not be restrained.
"What it means to be ignorant, what it means to be unpredictable, what it means to not know a good person's heart, today, I saw it again."
Bailiheng looked around. Whenever the people looked at him, they were frightened by his eyes and did not dare to step forward.
"I'm only going to say this once, if any of you dare to touch a hair on her today, I will kill him!"
These words were loud and clear, and his breath was extremely cold.
The people stopped and did not dare to move. Shi Qinghuan looked at Bailiheng's profile and felt warm in his heart.
But he still stepped forward, reached out and pulled his sleeve.
When Bailiheng looked over, he shook his head.
They were just ordinary people who had been deceived. How could she make him really attack them?
But for Bailiheng, what he just said was true.
If someone really touched Shi Qinghuan, he would not be able to control himself.
But Bailiheng's intimidating power was not fake. After this incident, no one dared to come forward, so they had to form a circle and block them in it.
"No matter what, you must release Daozhang Sun, otherwise, we will not let you go!"
"That's right, there are so many of us, and there are only two of you. If we don't release Taoist Master Sun today, and this girl remains, none of you can leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded in the distance.
"Who said there were only two of them?"
It's Zhang Yue!
Shi Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Delaying time is useful after all.
Sun Peng's face turned pale when he saw Zhang Yue appearing with the prefect and countless officers and soldiers behind him.
Yes, I actually forgot that they also have a bodyguard.
I didn't realize he wasn't there before.
Now that the attack was over, reinforcements were called in.
The people did not fight with the officials. No matter how arrogant these people were in front of Bailiheng, their calves were already weak when they saw the officers and soldiers.
Everyone quickly put down what they were holding and knelt on the ground.
"Sir."
Zhang Yue took the initiative to go forward and bow his hand.
The magistrate glanced at Bailiheng, his heart trembled, and he was about to salute, but was directly supported by Bailiheng.
He shook his head at the prefect, and even saluted the prefect with his backhand, "The common people have met the prefect."
Having been an official for many years, the prefect naturally understands the secrets of this.
Knowing that Bailiheng didn't want his identity exposed, he cooperated, "No need to be polite."
Bailiheng stood up, "That's all, Sir!"
"polite."
The prefect understood what Bailiheng meant and waved his hand, "You guys, hurry up and catch that guy!"
The officers and soldiers took action and took Sun Peng directly into custody.
The common people could only squat and kneel on the ground with their heads in their hands. Some of the brave ones couldn't help but complain for Sun Meng.
"Daozhang Sun has been here to help us all these years and stabilized Lord Baigui. Please forgive me, Lord Magistrate. You can't..."
It is precisely because of the deep-seated fear of white ghosts that they are so obedient.
To change them, their beliefs must be fundamentally shattered.
"When I was chasing your White Ghost last night, I discovered some very interesting things."
Shi Qinghuan just smiled slightly after listening to their words, attracting everyone's attention.
She just snapped her fingers, and flames burned at her fingertips.
Looking at the faint green, the people couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Will-o'-the-wisp!"
"Yes, it's a will-o'-the-wisp. How can she control a will-o'-the-wisp?"
Following the sound, the ordinary people who were still flamboyant all dispersed in fear, with panic in their eyes, fearing that Shi Qinghuan would do something to them.
The flame was burning on Shi Qinghuan's fingertips, but Shi Qinghuan seemed not to feel the burning heat at all. As she flicked her fingers, the ghost fire suddenly flew towards everyone.
Everyone ran away in fear, and some even fell to their knees.
"Lord White Ghost, calm down, calm down!"
Seeing this, Shi Qinghuan sneered.
"You see clearly, this is not a will-o'-the-wisp at all."
After that, with a look from Shi Qinghuan, Zhang Yue randomly grabbed a man from the crowd.
"what are you up to?"
The man screamed in fright, but could not break free from Zhang Yue's hand. Shi Qinghuan took out some powder and put it on the man's fingertips. After a while, the powder started to burn, which was the will-o'-the-wisp.
The people were stunned, and then Shi Qinghuan explained, "This thing is called phosphorus. It burns on its own in the wind, and then floats around with the wind. It often appears in graveyards, so it is called a will-o'-the-wisp. In fact, it is just a kind of will-o'-the-wisp." It’s a very common sight, and it’s not something caused by ghosts and gods.”
The people were doubtful, but the man believed it and shook his fingertips, "I'm fine, I'm really fine!"
Seeing this, Shi Qinghuan sprinkled some powder on the ground and looked at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue understood, he stepped on the ground and lightly rubbed it, and the long green flames burned in the open space. Then he waved his clothes, and the green flames flew into the air.
This scene is nothing but flying will-o'-the-wisps.
"I see."
"The will-o'-the-wisp is fake, so it's believable, but what about Mr. White Ghost? We all saw him float away with our own eyes. Even if he knows martial arts, he can't be that fast!"
Someone spoke tremblingly.
"Simple!"
Bailiheng, who had left at some unknown time, came over from one side. With a move of his finger, the white ghost suddenly rushed out of the fog and landed directly in front of everyone.
Everyone was startled, many knelt down and began to kowtow.
But some people have discovered clues.
"Wait, what is this?"
Bailiheng pulled the thin thread that the man pointed at, and the white ghost drifted away, and then pulled again and came back again.
Exactly the same as last night.
"This is thin silk. As long as you wrap it around the treetops, the white ghost will naturally flash past you as the person pulls it. As for the white ghost..."
Bailiheng took it off and threw it to the ground.
Someone couldn't wait to open it, and then suddenly realized it.
"It's fake, it turns out it's all fake."
